Now that all the Christmas excitement is over and all the yarn advents have been unwrapped, here are mine: This is a half month/12 day advent my DH gave me for Christmas. It is from Fangirl Fibers, and the theme is Marshmallow World. It is 11 20g. miniskeins and 1 full skein. They aren’t traditional… Continue reading Advents
I’ve got 1 and a half inches to go on the collar, and then binding off, so hopefully it will be done sometime this week! And then of course there’s soaking and blocking, but that won’t take too long.

To all who celebrate – I wish you a very Merry Christmas! To everyone else, have a wonderful Saturday 🙂

DH is happy with them and says they fit just right, so I’m happy 🙂 Now I’m taking a bit of a… Continue reading Sock It To Me Monday
Wow! One thing led to another this week, and when I looked up it had been four days since I blogged! Part of the reason is there isn’t much new happening in my knitting life. Same socks for DH and Arrowhead cardigan as the last time I talked about it. I am making progress, but… Continue reading Countdown
